AngieFitnessTV: Kick Fit Box and Burn

Box and Burn is part of AngieFitnessTV‘s Kick Fit program. This program contains 6 workouts. I plan to do all of them. So far I’ve done Kickboxing Intervals and Cardio Kickboxing Zone, both of which I loved. So 3 down and 3 more to go. Unfortunately I did not love this workout. I did like it. It was a good workout and even fun, but I didn’t like it nearly as much as the other two Kick Fits I’ve done.

This workout is done interval style: 45 seconds of boxing followed by 15 seconds of jumping jacks or jogging. This is not a low impact workout. You can obviously modify yourself and make it low impact (march in place rather than job and do low jacks instead of high jacks) but Angie doesn’t show any low impact modifications herself. Since there was so much jumping in this workout I did not wear my a weighted vest, just weighted gloves. Even with all the jumping it didn’t feel nearly as intense as the other two.

That’s the first part of the workout. The second part is strength training with a resistance tube with handles. I have a lot of resistance tubes but I just ended up going with my medium blue one that I bought from Cathe‘s webstore. That is my go to band for her workouts so it is always handy. It worked well for this workout.

Box and Burn is 31:15 minutes; 50 second intro, 4 minute warm up and 4 minute stretch. Equipment: weighted gloves and a resistance tube with handles.
